Well here goes! I have been promising myself I would start writing a blog but just never seemed to get round to it. I suppose I really want to hear if others share my views on life and I hope that I can write enough that is interesting to inspire others to comment!!?

Does life speed up the older you get or is it just me!? I find myself trying to slow it down a bit and smell the roses but life gets in the way every time.

One good reason for wanting to write regularly in a blog is to see just how many of "Us" there are out there - by that I mean women suffering from cancer. I know that there are hundreds of thousands suffering like myself from something that seems to take control of your life and who wish they could regain control. Let me know if you have the answer to that one.

I am on a rare break in the chemotherapy at the moment but know that before long I shall be back on some form of treatment. I know that I should relish not feeling nauseous but then we all take life for granted at some time or another.

This first blog is to see if I get any response from anyone who may be "listening" out there! I plan to contribute regularly and promise to make the next one worth reading!!
